Anyone having any problems with there steering yet? When I pull into parking lots there seems to be a nice clunking sound with the steering like its the rack or something. My driveway has a dip to it and when I pull in and out I here it. Other then that what a badass car!!

I hear the same thing going in and out of my driveway too. Hope someone can answer this question. I was going to bring it to the dealer but have not had the time. My '01 cobra did the same thing, so I don't think it is anything to worry about.

I had a clunk in mine and the dealer took care of it.Turned out to be a loose brkt on the seat. It was in the back though. Only problem Ive had with the car in 11k mi. These cars rock right out of the box.:thumbsup:

Technical Service Bulletin

There is a Tecnical service bulletin Fro Ford on the front suspention , Take it to the Dealer , and have them retourque all the front suspention Bolts , this makes the clunk go away since now the bolts will be the proper tightness ,look up the Bulletin on ALL DATA ..........:beer:

I had to have my steering rack bushings replaced when I had my tranny replaced last week. It was creaking whenever I turned the wheel.

Although mine is not clunking, I had the p/s pump replaced already.
Had stripped threads on one of the hoses.
I told the dealer there was no way I was going to have a leak on my new Mach 1 when my old '88 Mark 7 has NO leaks:p
